Day 3: Columbia, MO > York, NE, 8 hours on the road, 367 miles. We went through Missouri, Iowa, and Nebraska. (We changed our route. We were going to go thru SD.)
Stan B has done pretty well on these car rides. He keeps himself occupied with dinosaur and truck play (see pics below) and reading books(see pic below). It is actually neat to observe him with the books as he doesn't have one of us to read to him…because of that he seems to really take his time on each page and he even says things, as if he is reading. 
The Dino play is fun to observe because you can see him using his imagination (he is mostly having them poop put of the end of their tails...but sometimes they bite his legs and ride in trucks.
Towards the end of the days he tends to get a little squirrelly and says things like, "up!!!!" and "all done!" While raising his arms up in the air. But so far, no need for a portable DVD player like many a person suggested.
On day 2 I cried because he kept saying, "home?" Because he was done sitting in the car and wanted to go home. I explained that we were going to a new home and it would take us several more days to get there. He then would say, "C?" As in Auntie C, and I would say she is probably still at work. And then he would say home again and so on. anyhow. I can't wait to say, "home again, home again, jiggity jig."
I miss that little cub already. Tell him auntie C loves him!

Awww...what a good little traveler. :) Natalie was about his age when we moved to our house. The first few weeks or so after we moved in she would ask, "Go home now?" It broke my heart a little because I knew she was missing the familiarity of our apartment. I'm sure once you arrive and Stanley sees all his stuff is there he will begin to accept the new place. Safe travels and warm arrivals to you!
